Show I THE QUESTION OF IMPORTING I The Outlook has learned a good deal about the question of importing Mongolians since last week It had us on the brink blink of a war with Great Britain because some saw mill men up at Bellingham had bad run out some laborers It has now found out that whenever Asiatic laborers come conic into this country country country coun coun- try indiscriminately there thero are And it has found that it is just as bad in British Columbia andin and andin andin in Australia which is a part of the British empire no na Japanese can settle on the land laud or enter the schools he be cannot set foot on the territory except under bond to depart within a definite time And the Outlook thinks this question ought to be fixed up this race trouble between the Saxon Anglo-Saxon and i the Asiatic races It notices too behind behin the economic economic economic eco eco- antipathy there is also a justifiable feeling that where there is an established protective s system stem it is only just that it benefit not only the capitalist but also the laborer The Outlook thinks Japan cannot ask of the United States what her own ally Great Britain refuses As an offset to California there are arc and and British Columbia Moreover More More- Moreover over lover Japan cannot demand that the United States do what she is unwilling to do herself The imperial government has not only debarred Chinese laborers but ut has deported them Japan has a more stringent law against American laborers than the United States has had against Japan This is all working first rate i I The east is finding out that the Californians are really no worse than the Australians or the men of British Columbia and the eastern newspapers which were looking for a war titar with Jap Japan n because in a fight in San Franc Francisco between American working workingmen men a little old Japanese restaurant was wrecked are learning that the they made precious fools of themselves themselves themselves them them- selves and antl it is to be hoped that the president of the United States has learned a few things by this time himself about a subject on which he talked a good hood deal last winter and talked without knowledge In n point of fact if there were a n few Ship shiploads h odds of Mongolians to enter any port of the east est and he begin in their theil work ork before a year ear there would he bo an aG insurrection insurrection tion against them And the truth is the men of California California California Cal Cal- are arc brighter and braver more generous and more mOle considerate of the poor than any community in the east e st from Cape Cape- Cod Cape Cod to the Mississippi river |
